Date Posted:15-10-2020 01:35Copy HTML Footsteps on the shore lay there As closing tide sweeps near to me. In haste, I try to place with care Myself in image, I would be To have fulfilled my fantasy.
Erasing waters wave goodbye To moments of that unborn time With dreams of foolish such as I, Sun sets ‘pon reason and the rhyme As sands absorb the last, of mine.
(c) ZYDHA HART 2005 I have always felt that we are simply a slight dent in the face of history. Reality is to see life as it is....and to make the best of what is there. Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re:Davids Challenge ~ Dark Erasure Date Posted:19-10-2020 08:49Copy HTML Zy, It's not often that we can leave evidence of our existence that will be long after remembered, at least not upon the shore with passing tides.
Yes perhaps we do leave a slight impression in the realms of time for a short moment, like all those who walked before us...Tony (potleek)

Re:Davids Challenge ~ Dark Erasure Date Posted:19-10-2020 02:57Copy HTML mmnnn...the odd poem may surface since some have been published and their ISBNs will last longer than me, but as we are a family of four in total from four generations, Tony, I don't think too much will be evident eventually, but, I'd like to leave some of my words, Zy Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re:Davids Challenge ~ Dark Erasure Date Posted:25-10-2020 11:54Copy HTML Whether or not one can leave memories or simply remnants of one's time on earth, this is a beautifully written piece, all the phraseology is so evocative of a sad soul, wishing to leave more of ourselves than we ever can. A very sad, gentle read. Dx Could do with a glass of rosé!
